Grib Skov

Spring have hit big time here in Denmark, so here's a couple pictures from Grib skov where me and the misses enjoyed a nice picknic today

Located in Northern Zealand Grib Skov is the largest forest on Zealand and located at the western shore of Esrum Sø ( "Lake Esrum" )

Went to the same forest again today with the misses - this time the southern part for a nice picknic

A LOT of snakes out today.. and a lot of woodpeckers..

So here's some more pics of the place...

The little cutie was tanning..

Didn't like us photographing it..

A dude who went swimming..

And a snake he was sharing the lake with..

Another snake..

Yo!

Getting close to civilization again..

Keeping to the trend of Northern Zealand let's have a look at Melby's early Bronze Age burial mounts..

"Syvhøje"

These roughly 3500 year old burial mounts was escavated centuries ago and is today open to the public and a popular picnic destination..
In the summer there's sheep grazing there..

We went there in the evening to see the sunset..

It's been a while since I've posted anything urban, so here you go..

Melby

A small village just north of Frederiksværk ( shown earlier ) mostly known for it's old mill, trainstation and church.. and the burial mounts shown above..

Small paths like this cross trough the village - a nice alternative to sidewalk and cars..

After forest, fields and city it's time for the sea...

Tisvilde Strand

With more than 7200km the Danish coastline is one of Europe's longest ( more than twice that of Sweden ) and most of it is white sandy beach..

Tisvilde Strand is a great example of how it naturally looks and what plants lives along the sandy coastline

Super-cool! J'adore toutes les photos de Danemark c'est le pays que j'aime plus dans toute la monde et tout l'espace extra-atmosphérique. Si j'étais au Danemark je le donnerai des bisous comme papillons.

I'm guessing it's a positive post, so thanks!

As we start to go inland from the coast we get into the..

"Troldeskoven"
"Troll Forest"

Today there is sadly not many trolls left - and those left are very shy - but if you move slowly and silently you might just spot one..
( Note: there's one in one of the pictures ) just don't get too close, they can be dangerous in you corner them!

FREKI · #89 Posted **May 13, 2011, 8:33 PM**

Time for the final part of the April pics..

As we move further inland from the Troll Forest we get to

Tisvilde Hegn

A more traditional Danish forest home to a lot of pine and broad leafs trees as well as old ruins and other goodies..

Asserbo Ruin

Horse parking in the middle of the forest

That's all for now folks, but stay tuned

Keep 'em coming man!

^pics are coming, but I sadly don't have as much disposable time as I used to for photos but in time I will post a lot more from this summer..

To begin with here's some from June 5 where we visited the western part of Zealand..

Torbenfeldt

This small castle dating back to 1377 has a nice location in a small lake with a nice forest bordering it..

In this first part I'll take a look at the castle and surrounding church and farms..

FREKI · #92 Posted **Jul 11, 2011, 2:58 AM**

I will return to the June 5 pics later, but first some brand new pics from today..

Dyrehaven

Went out on the Savanna to shoot some animals today - with my camera of course

So far it's only from my island ( Zealand ) and nearby Amager, but eventually I will try to cover more islands.. and the cities of Århus and Odense is definitely on the list, but probable not this year..

Got a new series ready, but the page is rather picture heavy already so I'm bumping it to the next page..

FREKI · #98 Posted **May 4, 2012, 2:43 AM**

Did you know that Danes didn't arrive to Denmark until around year 300...

FREKI · #99 Posted **May 4, 2012, 2:45 AM**

King Dan ( a Swedis prince ) lead his men south and marched from Uppsala in Sweden down trough the land of the Geats and Goths and down to Denmark that at the time was settled by Jutes..

He kicked a lot of arse and forced the tribes to leave or be reigned by him..

Later the Kingdom split apart and while there was still cooperation between in Kingdoms in the age known as the "Viking age" it wasn't until 965 before all the Kingdoms was once again under the same King..
